Ruy Velazquez Orders the Death of Nuño Salido, Gonzalez Gomez Comes to His Aid and Kills the Knight Gonzalo Sanchez
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching from the series "The History of the Seven Sons of Lara" by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created in the early 17th century. This powerful image transports us back to the Americas during the turbulent times of the Baroque era. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in the legend of the Seven Sons of Lara, a popular Spanish ballad. Ruy Velazquez, one of the seven princes, stands resolute, giving the order for the execution of Nuño Salido. The condemned man, bound and kneeling, looks up with a pleading expression, as the executioner raises his blade. Suddenly, Gonzalez Gomez, another prince, bursts onto the battlefield. He charges towards Ruy Velazquez, brandishing his spear, determined to protect his brother. A fierce battle ensues between the two princes, with the knight Gonzalo Sanchez caught in the crossfire. The image is filled with dynamic movement and intense emotion, as the figures engage in a deadly dance of swords and spears. This etching, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the Americas during the Baroque era. It illustrates the legend of the Seven Sons of Lara, a tale of loyalty, brotherhood, and valor that continues to captivate audiences today. The intricate details, bold lines, and dramatic contrasts in this work by Tempesta showcase the mastery of the Baroque style and its enduring influence on art history.
